Police said a school resource officer was called to help out after a vehicle search uncovered illegal drugs. Police said the student, Jamone Boyd, 18, resisted an escort to go back into the building after the search of his car.

Police said the officer used the Taser after Boyd turned toward him. They said the device didn't work with Boyd's heavy jacket.

"The officer kind of grabs his arm and Jamone turns around, takes off his coat and throws it at the officer," said Elias Duckworth, who witnessed the incident. "He just takes off and he's gone."

Police said the Taser was used on Boyd a second time when police caught up to him off school property. Boyd was not injured and was taken into custody.

Police said he was given municipal citations on charges of resisting a law enforcement officer and possession of marijuana.

The resource officer was not hurt in the incident, police said.

Boyd is a standout football player who has been getting interest from top college recruiters.
